. >> supervisor campos: thank you. i know the items before us involve a master lease, and a cooperative agreement. but i do think it's important in the context of the siting whether or not to support those items to have a better sense of the safety issues that have been raised. i think -- i know that there's going to be a public hearing on this, which i think is a great idea. and i want to thank supervisor kim, supervisor avalos, for sponsoring that. what worries me about this is the fact that, as you said, you know, there is no guarantee that that in fact there is no contamination that could create a health hazard. i mean i think your presentation is a carefully drafted document that, you know, leaves open the very possibility that there could be health implications here. isn't that correct? >> that's correct, recognizing there's these additional investigations that cdph is still going to be conducting. i don't want to be me mature. and i believe in, you know, never say never. >> supervisor campos: and that's the ques

supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you, madam clerk. i wasn't planning on saying anything today, but after watching the exchange in question time today, i think it's only appropriate for us to say -- for me to say something about that. i appreciate the question from supervisor carmen chu, but i don't know that i'm the only one who feels this way about question time. but my own personal view is that question time is no longer working. i don't know that it ever really worked. i think that it's too scripted. and from my perspective, the intent of question time when it was first brought forward and first talked about was to engage in a meaningful discussion between the board of supervisors and the mayor. and i think that the way that it's currently structured in my view, i don't think that that meaningful discussion is really taking place. so i'm certainly interested in pursuing and exploring different ways in which we can modify question time to make sure that it is more interactive and not as scripted as it's become. so i certainly will b
